The complaint record includes 11 reported crashes and 10 reported injuries.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify ignition recall completion and ask about engine shutdowns.
3. Test the backup camera through repeated reverse selections.
4. Ask about electrical faults, airbag warnings, and related repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
